However, to automatically parse 90% of common verbs into "actions" with a higher-level interface makes sense to me; I've already started doing something like that in CVS, and there are emerging conventions about how to represent that.

There are some errors, but it's got a pretty good list. -- You are not entitled to your opinions. 01234567 <- The amazing indent-o-meter! ^ Matt McIrvin: the Nikola Tesla of tab damage.
